Thornhill Park Primary School students celebrated their multicultural community last week to mark Harmony Week.
The annual celebration ran from March 17-21 in recognition of diversity.
Thornhill Park students took part in a range of activities throughout the week to celebrate the school’s diversity.
Student engagement officer Tamyrha Tuaoi said each classroom had the opportunity to research a specific country and create a unique display to showcase some of the students’ cultural backgrounds.
The displays were exhibited during the school’s assembly for students, staff and the wider community to admire.
On Wednesday, March 19, the school choir, and rock band performed during lunch time, performing an Indigenous song.
Ms Tuaoi said a special dress-up day was held on Friday, March 21, with students encouraged to wear traditional dress or orange to show their support for diversity and inclusion.
Grade 6 class captain Ishrat said Harmony week reminded her about respecting each other’s nations and being proud of her own culture.
